Customer Reviews

I absolutely loved this amp. I was able to dial in any tone I could dream of and the breakup at higher volumes was very minimal.

Love this amp.

What is your opinion of this product?

Hands down one of the best clean channels on the market, and it takes pedals better than any amp I have tried. Purposely purchased to use with my cover band of all decades, if you get the right pedals, you can't beat it. Vast improvement from the Hot Rod III with the gain stages, but not as good as using the clean channel and an OCD. I did have an issue with the amp cutting out on me then losing signal and right now it's in the shop being diagnosed. Only problem I have had so far. Potential capacitor replacement.

Just minor tweaking of the controls give tremendous tone capability.

A lot of compression

What is your opinion of this product?

I like the sound but not as much as the blues deluxe, although it is more tamed to play at home. Overall a great amp. I just give it a three because I like it but don’t love it.

Just ok

What is your opinion of this product?

I have owned a Hot Rod Deluxe before. A very early model and liked it very much. This new version didn’t work for me. The sound was lifeless and flat. The overdrive was weak. I found it a poorly designed amp with little to recommend it.
A Marshall DSL 40 is head and shoulders about the Hot Rod Deluxe
As always AMS was great and set up the return with no questions asked. They are the best on line store to buy from.
